THE FARMERS RIGHT
TO COMBINE
In these days of combination
and control:of prices on nearly
all manufactured products, the
manufacturers, when they find
that by over-production and
competition they are forcing
prices down below the point up-
on which they can make a pro-
fit, get together and agree to
curtail the output, and hold
what they produce until those
who need and must have it are
willing to make it at a price fix-
ed" them. If one or more manu-
facturers, making similar arti-
cles, sell them at a price lower
than that fixed, they are soon
put out of business by methods
familiiar to all. Farm and
Ranch does not commend to any-
one the oppressive methods of
the trusts, but the producers
and those engaged in other lines
that depend upon the patron-
age of the farmers, should, and
would be justifiable in corabin*
ing in an offort to fairly secure
what is justly coming to them.
If the producers of this country
would almost as a unit say—and
say it hafd enough to believe it
themselves and stick to it, "we
will not sell anything for sixty
days, except at a fair price and
not more than the market will
bier from forcing prices down so
low as to actually cause them
loss, as is now being done,
once from under the yoke of
debt, with the power to produce
everything absolutely necessary
for consumption, the farmer can,
if he will, control the markets
of the world, and subdue with-
out bloodshed all its armies and
navies—Farm and Ranch.

Texas has a heritage froar the
fathers of a permanent school
fund that is the wonder of the
world, yet thirty-eight of the
forty-five states have a longer
public school term than Texas.
Further more, Texas ranks-86th
in expenditure per capita for
public schools. These things
are not pleasant reading- for
Texans, and we should be glad
to assist in changing the fig-
ures. The cities and larger
towns of the state generally
have good schools, with oom-
fortable houses and competent
teachers, but hundreds of the
rural communities have neither
of these. At the election an
amendment is to be voted upon
the state touched into being

The Hutchison Medicine C<

to report, is to move to Te:
kana. They havebought p
erty in Texarkana and will e:
a large building for a la
tory. It is reported they
abo bought some residence
perty.
This is an important enter-
prise Cass county is losing and
Texarkana is gaining. They
keep several salesmen on the
road. Their patent medicines
are well advertised and a num-
ber of men are employed in the
labaratory. The proprietors
are men of high christian char-
acter and we regret to lose them
from Cass county.

The produce owners, or at least
should own, that which he pro-
duces, and so long as he is not a
"slave to the lender, 'Ms not
morally or otherwise wrong in
fixing a fair price upon that
which belongs to him. That
the farmers will, as a unit, come
to such an understanding is
neither to be expected or hoped
for: yet it has been conclusively
proved that by organization they
are being educated up to a de-
gree that will soc n make it pos-
sible for enough of them to come
to a mutual understanding that
will enable them to at least pre-
vent the speculator and gam-
equip and maintain good
schools. The amendment iteelf
levies no tax—it is simply a
local option measure giving the
people of school districts the
right to levy a tax upon them-
selves, if they so desire for
school purposes. This amend-
ment ought to be adopted.
Years ago, when the fathers cut
loose from Mexico, they an-
nounced in their declaration of i

pacity for self-government;"

*T*HE recent rains and winds have played havoc with
the cotton crop in this section and the question
now is—how to save the little that is left to the
best advantage. It is dirty and full of sand. This
cotton ginned on an ordinary gin becomes what buyers
call "dog-tail," but if ginned on an up-to-date
Murray Gin
makes a good sample. The Murray Gin System has
several points of superiority over other * improved (?)
makes. The main point of which is the fact that it
, absolutely takes out the sand from the lint and does
not put it in the seed. Now some other improved gins
claim to not put the sand in the seed but they use the
same draft of air to pull the cotton out of the wagon
with which they blow the seed into the bin. Conse-
quently if you have sandy cotton you get sandy seed.
Not so with the Murray Gin, which has two separate
fans—one to draw up the cotton which discharges the
sand outside and another to put the seed into the bin.
There are many other advantages the Murray has, too
numerous to mention here, but suffice it to say that we
have a NEW MURRY GIN — no old rattle trap that
jj *• ** - « \ ^ *
has been patched up so often that if one lock caught on
each patch, there would be a bale of cotton hanging on
it all the time. We do. the work and can save you
money. We gin for the 20th—alike to all, rich and
poor—no favorites.
Now, Mr. Farmer, on September 25th, 1908, low
midling cotton at Houston was 8 ->-8, good middling
9 5 8—a difference 01 1 l-2c per pound or $7.50 per
bale. Don't you think this'wofcth saving? Why it wilt
more than pay for the ginning and buy S'sacks of flour.
Ask the buyers. They will tell you that the Murray
Gin is "THE" gin for this sandy land. Give us a
trial. Gin running every day in the week except Sun-
day. If you have seed to sell it will pay you to get our
